Meet Results

MONTCLAIR, NJ (January 18, 2012) -- The Vassar College men's swimming and diving team came within seven points of the lead with two races remaining in the meet, but Montclair State University held on for a narrow 128-107 win. MSU won the 100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard freestyle relay to clinch the victory.

“They had guys who could get up and win the events and we just didn't quite have enough today,” said head coach Lisl Prater-Lee. “We've had three meets in a relatively short time and it's good we were able to give them a run for their money.”
